What car is "or similar" in the rental world?
If you've ever rented a car, you know that your choice is always a car name and then the similar phrase. For eg., Full Size Toyota Camry or similar.
Sometimes I actually get what is the noted car. Once I asked for a Toyota Corolla, and got a Corolla. Once a RAV4, got a RAV4.
However, more often than not, I get the "similar"
Once asked for a Toyota Camry, got a Dodge Charger (in Vegas)
Asked for a Mercedes C Class, got a diesel Infiniti Q50 (in Scotland)
Asked for a Ford Fusion, got a Hyndai Sonata (Orlando)
I have done a bunch of googling, but I can't seem to find a site that lists the current fleet of a particular vendor.
This summer I am going to Scotland again, and through Enterprise, I have asked for a Ford Mondeo (Fusion) or similar.
Thing is, with Peugeots and Renaults and Vauxhalls and Skodas and Seats etc. running around Europe, I don't really know what exactly is similar to a Mondeo.
Does anyone know of a website for this information?
P.S. I checked the Ford UK website and apparently the Mondeo starts off with a 1.0L Turbo 3. The Mighty One-Point-Oh.
I know that is an engine in the Fiesta here. Can you imagine North Americans buying a Fusion with a 1.0L? Um no. 2.7L Twin Turbo V6 please!

Stand and Deliver! I have two pistols here... I know one of them isn't loaded anymore, but the other one is, so that's one of you dead for sure... well just about for sure........
